And Lemmy is completely ignored/forgotten. Pretty accurate.

TBF, with the exception of 4chan, these are all microblgging platforms occupying the same problem space. Lemmy is more like Reddit (unmentioned), which is not only more long-form, but has a different mechanism of organization: people self-organize by topic, not by following personalities. Lemmy & Reddit replaced Usenet. Twitter et al were a new, different paradigm.

4chan is in there to be funny, but shares more with Lemmy and Reddit than micro-blogging sites.

This meme is a discussion of Twitter clones. Lemmy is a Reddit clone, and Reddit isn't up there either.

Considering Mastodon is up there, I'll be generous and say that refers to the Fediverse as a whole.

Also a lot of overlap with Truth Social.

and often as not, whether or not it's ironic depends on whether you agree with them

This is a very good paraphrase from an excellent series, Yes Prime Minister (formerly Yes Minister). In the scene, the Prime Minister (dude in the middle) is explaining to the Permanent Secretary (dude on the left) the difference between the various English newspapers. The Permanent Secretary is famous for giving lengthy and exceptionally convoluted monologues in which he says nearly nothing

They mention that, and ignore Lemmy and Reddit. Brilliant.

So basically Twitter on a Blockchain with literally zero moderation

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Pretty much.

I created an account (or rather an identity) on there a while back because I was intrigued by the hyper-decentralized aspect. It attracts the exact sort of people you would expect a blockchain-based zero-moderation platform to attract.

I had no idea that bluesky was actually good.

It's not, don't worry

Its been getting better and slowly adding more features to make it more like Twitter. If you want a twitter like platform its worth a look.
